actually the drives are about as hot as when they're in the ext enclosures. I found that out when i opened the enclosure on a ext drive that had just been shut down and checked the temp inside the case.

I have never noticed it getting hot. I am not sure about confined spaces. I do like the quality and feel and convenience of a multiple usb port charger with a separate cord allowing charging in more convenient locations.

I'm using it in air conditioned car so I didn't have a chance to test it under such conditions, anyway, I didn't notice any overheating problem when charging two devices.

It should not get overly heated. It may be warm to the touch. If you are charging two items at once and the device is very hot, gingerly & lightly touch each of the devices as you would a hot light bulb or kitchen pot. The hottest device is the culprit. Check the design/specifications of this device to ensure it is not exceeding the capabilities of the portable charger. To be safe, you perhaps will have to get a different, more powerful charger($$) for that device, preferably one with a fuse.

If there is a space between both shouldnt, the card get a little hot for been a OC version but nothing serious.

There is just a high and low switch that changes the speed. It stays roughly the same temperature on both, the high might be a smidge hotter.

No, I've had two devices plugged in for hours and it does not get overly warm. As with any charger it will get warm, but, it should not get hot.

Hi! The unit doesn't get hot and it's compatible. If I had to buy another one I would choose a shorter one but since this one works fine, I won't replace it.

I have no idea, it was a gift for my boyfriend. The screen was damaged so we didn't get to look closely at the laptop. But it think it does has 2 slots. I'm mot 100% sure.

sides do NOT get hot with normal use, also anything with a 3 prong plug I will Not unplug, this is the main reason I bought this toaster , I like the fact that the toaster is grounded and will blow a circuit breaker if shorts to the casing of the unit , my old two prong toaster I always unplugged because it was not grounded

It depends on how you use it. I'm running two sets of 6.5 components and it never gets hot. But if you bridge it down to two ohms it will get hot.

I own two of them and I have never had that problem. Check to make sure that the filter screen is not dirty and clogged, I know that this will make it run hot.

I'm about to put a review up, but I've had it for 3 weeks and it does get VERY hot. Much hotter than a 17" I had and hotter than a 15.4" I had. I mean like I didn't know it was safe for it to run this hot, and this is straight out of the box. However, I game for significant periods of time and I haven't had an overheat. Someone in newegg said this thing gets to 64 degrees C with a cooler, and that is accurate. If you buy this for gaming, I would reccomend a cooler (that shoots air to the front of the computer, since that's where the vents are) and u shud be fine. It comes with a free 2 yr accidental dmg warranty (if you register it w/ asus by mailing them a small slip that comes w/ the computer), so send it back if it does overheat.

Yes it does get very hot while charging and mine only lasted for a month. I would say spend a little more and buy a durable one. That's wat I learnt the hard way.
